The lack of niche communities is one thing, but the real long term drag is the fact that most of this place is just c/Linux or c/linuxmemes even if it’s just c/memes or literally any community.
Can’t go anywhere without some “Microsoft bad, Chromium bad” content or comments clogging everything up. Keep that shit in the places it belongs or you’re going to see more people abandon the site as they realize it’s all just the same people with the same three interests in every place.
That and it really feels like the worst of reddit came here, I’ve seen people get downvoted to hell over obvious misinterpretation of their comments by people who have almost zero reading comprehension skills.
The first paragraph is why, Linux users appreciate privacy and open source more than content and usability. They make their own, with blackjack and hookers.
Reddit is a business, so it will care about what the majority does, and what it can get away with.
The rest is just side effects.
Oh I understand why but as someone who uses Linux and doesn’t really put any data into social media, it’s fucking exhausting to constantly have people act like they understand the one extra little key thing that’ll save you from the government or private entities. Most of them just regurgitating random bullshit they hear and don’t know a fucking thing about.
Oh you gotta have a DNS pihole, you gotta have Linux on everything or you like sucking Gate’s dick, no not that distro! Arch/Debian/Mint! Why do you need tab stacking/side bars/whatever else Firefox doesn’t have? Chromium based browsers bad!
It’s clear why people hate Linux users, they’re insufferable. Truly the vegans of the internet.

Lemmy needs to fix its shit.

I do agree with the shallow downvoting though.

😂 I get your points about monotony.
As a redreader user, I moved here because I couldn’t suffer reddit without SOME parsing and garbage collection.
Yes, even Linux vegans. :)
